About Buzzy's Bees
The name, idea, and passion behind the Buzzy’s Bees Foundation is our son Hudson who passed on May 15th, 2016. He passed in the middle of the night unexpectedly, and our world was forever changed. We lovingly called him Buzzy; thus, Buzzy’s Bees was born. When Hudson passed, we had a tremendous amount of support from family and close friends, and we could not fathom any family g
oing through something this life-altering without even a fraction of what we had been blessed with in terms of resources, love, and compassion. We wanted to offer this to other families in a similar situation. Buzzy’s officially launched in January 2017 with a launch party and auction in Downtown Portland. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. 100% of your donations are tax-deductible and will go to a family experiencing the unexpected loss of a child. Emotional Support:
Through partnerships with local artists and writers, we are able to help create individualized memorials of children for their families through the Give Grief a Voice Project. Financial Support:
Expenses upon unexpectedly losing a child are unpredictable and astronomical. Even with prudent planning, there is no way to fully prepare for such a loss. Each year Buzzy’s awards financial gifts to grieving families to assist with the variety of expenses that arise following the unexpected loss of a child.
